GRADING POLICY – FACULTY OF ARTS, HUMANITIES & SOCIAL SCIENCES

GRADING: 1 a) Instructors in large enrolment lower level classes should grade so that the “average” grade of the expected

performance of the average student is within the “60-69.9” range. As a guideline, in 100 and 200 level classes with initial enrolments of at least 50 students no more than 50% of the final grades should be in the range of “70 to 100”.

b) This expectation should be communicated to students on the course outline. 2. At any level and in any size undergraduate class, normally there should be fewer grades in the “80-100” range

(“Exceptional”) than in the “70-79.9” range (“Good”). 3. The grading in all sections of multi-section courses should be consistent. The grade distributions should therefore be

similar: differences in the percentage of “80-100” and “70-79.9” together normally should not exceed 10 percentage points. This should also be the case with “50 to 59.9” and “0-49”. (Instructors in multi-sectioned courses should be encouraged to plan consistent evaluation procedures.) Section grades should not be posted until they are reviewed by the Chair/Head/Director; in case of serious discrepancies section instructors should be encouraged to achieve grade consistency. Students should be notified of the possibility of grade adjustments in the course outlines.

SENATE GRADING POLICY Policy M5: Marks/Grade Descriptors The University of Windsor uses a percentage marking and grading scale. The following are the university-wide grade descriptors for undergraduate and graduate programs and will be printed on the back of the transcripts. Undergraduate - University-wide grade descriptors:

GRADE APPEALS: (See Senate Bylaws 51: 1.17.1 and 1.17.2) Informal and formal Appeal: An informal inquiry may be made to the instructor up to the official marks being submitted to the Registrar. The purpose of the inquiry is to review the work submitted and to allow for any adjustment of the grade in question where that change is found to be appropriate by the instructor. This informal inquiry must be done no later than ten working days after the release or publication by the instructor. This review does not preclude the student from appealing the final grade. NOTE: Where the purpose of reviewing work for which a grade has been assigned is not to request a grade change, course work may be reviewed by students up to six months after the close of the term in which the course was taught, upon reasonable notice to the instructor. Formal appeals may be made through the Office of the Registrar for a fee of $20. The Dean of the Faculty will inform the Registrar of the outcome of the appeal. If the appeal is successful the $20 will be refunded. All appeals must be made in writing to the Associate Dean’s Office, no later than three (3) weeks after the final mark has been released by the Registrar.

Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences (FAHSS) Policy regarding Missing or Canceling a Lecture/Class/Lab

Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to ensure a consistent learning environment for the students in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. This policy recognizes the importance of safeguarding the safety and wellbeing of faculty, staff and students and providing an equitable teaching and learning experience. Cancellation of Scheduled Classes/Lab/Lecture due to Conference/Workshops: Should a professor know at the beginning of semester that s/he will be away at a conference, workshop or other academic commitment during the term, s/he is required to note such absences on the course syllabus. Professors will need to indicate how they plan to make up the missed classes and course work on the syllabus. Course syllabi are required to be submitted to the head/director’s office prior to the beginning of class each semester. If a professor wishes to reschedule a class/lab/lecture during which no evaluative procedure has been scheduled the professor must have the agreement of the entire class as it would be a change to the official scheduled class time. Otherwise the professor is responsible for covering all the course material in the remaining scheduled class times. Cancellation of Scheduled Classes/Labs/Lecture due to Illness/Bereavement/Medical Emergency: If an instructor is unable to meet the class due to illness, bereavement, or medical emergency, the following steps need to be followed: If such situation occurs the professor will contact the department head or director’s administrative office and ask the secretary to post an official notice on the classroom door stating the reason for the cancellation. It is the Professor’s responsibility to ensure a notice is posted on CLEW as soon as possible. The professor will send an email to all students in the class. The email should list the essential information in the subject line of the email, for example SUBJECT: CLASS CANCELLED: 48-100-01 Professor John Hancock, Introduction to Sociology, Thursday, May 10, 2013. If due to a medical/bereavement/medical emergency, a professor wishes to reschedule a class/lab/lecture during which no evaluative procedure has been scheduled the professor must have the agreement of the entire class as it would be a change to the official scheduled class time. Otherwise the professor is responsible for covering all the course material in the remaining scheduled class times. If a professor cancels a class/lab/lecture during which an evaluative procedure has been scheduled the professor should make every effort to make provisions to keep the evaluative procedure on the scheduled date by enlisting assistance from a fellow colleague or TA/GA. If that is not possible Bylaw 51, section 1.8 would apply. “If a test or other evaluative procedure cannot be held at the scheduled time because of an emergency the activity will automatically be rescheduled for the next regular class meeting.” If the evaluative procedure is scheduled for the next class, the course material that would have been covered that day would be dealt with in accordance with the paragraph above.

Page 5 of 6

Cancellation of Classes/University Closure due to Weather or Emergency Conditions: In cases of inclement weather or emergency conditions which may include snow, ice, tornado, explosion, fire, etc. the only person who may cancel classes and/or close the University is the President of the University. Professors are not permitted to cancel classes without seeking permission from their head/director or dean. If the president has officially canceled classes and an evaluative procedure had been scheduled for that class/lab Bylaw 51, section 1.8 applies. “If a test or other evaluative procedure cannot be held at the scheduled time because of an emergency, the activity will automatically be rescheduled for the next regular class meeting.” Other Reasons: For reasons other than those listed above, classes cannot be cancelled without the prior approval of the head/director or the Dean of the Faculty. Please refer to Bylaw 51, section 1.7 “Changes may be made to the course outline up until the end of the first two weeks of classes. A hard copy of the final version of the course outline must be submitted to the AAU Head by the end of the second week of classes. After the initial first two weeks of the course, the dates referred to in 1.2.2 may be altered only for a compelling pedagogical or administrative reason. In the event of such a change students will receive advance notice of at least two calendar weeks. Notification of the precise dates for tests, handing in assignments, and all other activities (except unannounced quizzes), which will affect the final course grade, must be provided to students at least two calendar weeks prior to that date. The procedures for determining the final grade in a course may not be altered in any circumstance after the first two weeks of the course.” Notes: When the University is closed a notice will be placed on the University Webpage, telephone answering system, and Campus Police at ext. 1234. Please also check with the local radio stations in the Windsor/Essex area for updates.

FAHSS Makeup Exam Policy and Plagarism Policy (also see Bylaw 31)

PLAGIARISM and EXAMINATION MAKE-UP POLICIES

1. Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a very serious academic offense. Students who plagiarize are dishonestly and fraudulently using someone else’s work as their own. In the preparation of essays, papers, reports, and any other types of assignments, students must necessarily rely on the work of others. However, the source of any ideas, wording, or data obtained from others must be disclosed and properly acknowledged by citations, quotation marks, and bibliographic references in the proper format. Using the work of others without acknowledgement is plagiarism. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:

a) Copying material, for example, from the Internet, or purchasing material and submitting it as one’s own; b) Paraphrasing (changing some of the words) the ideas and concepts of others without proper referencing; c) Using a passage or passages of any length from published or unpublished work of others without placing the

passage(s) in quotation marks (or using indentation for long quotation(s)) and acknowledging their source; d) Submitting work to more than one course, unless prior permission to do so has been given in writing; e) Submitting work completely or largely identical to that of other students, unless group work and joint submissions are

explicitly permitted by the instructor. Consequences: If the instructor believes that plagiarism has occurred, s/he assigns a grade of IN (incomplete) to the work in question and reports the case to the Department Head, to the Associate Dean of the Faculty, and to the student(s) involved. Disciplinary proceedings may be initiated pursuant to Senate Bylaw 31, which could result in suspension or expulsion from the University in cases of repeated plagiarism. Students will be given the opportunity to address the matter of plagiarism to the Department Head or designate and/or to the Associate Dean of Student and Academic Affairs in the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and ultimately to a Judicial Panel at the University. Students can appeal a finding of

Page 6 of 6

plagiarism to the Discipline Appeal Committee of the University.

2. Exam Makeup/Late Submission/Aegrotat/Incomplete Policy The Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences requires students to provide acceptable and documented medical (or equivalent compassionate) reasons to allow make-ups for scheduled tests, midterms, and final exams; the submission of late assignments, or grades of Incomplete or Aegrotat. Acceptable reasons include hospital stays, serious illness, family emergencies (such as serious accidents or illnesses, death) or similar circumstances outside the student’s control. Normally, written documentation is required stating specific reasons and dates. Arrangements for make-up exams must be made as soon as possible. The instructor sets the date and format for make-up exams. The make-up exam will usually be different from the original exam, but will be equivalent in terms of testing objectives, format, level of difficulty, material covered, length of examination, etc. Considerations for Health, Bereavement, or Extenuating Circumstances Please see Senate Bylaw 51, clause 1.18.2. Students may print and use the FAHSS Medical form for illness. Also see Senate Policy E2: Multiple Exams in One Calendar Day. Additional Notes: It is the responsibility of Faculty and Students to understand and follow all clauses in Senate Bylaw 51 and 31. Senate Bylaw 51: Articles to Note: 1.1.1 Meaningful testing procedure 1.1.3 last 7 calendars days free of any procedure for which a mark will be assigned 1.2.3 Student Evaluation of Teaching: Student Evaluation of Teaching forms will be administered in the last

two weeks of classes, in accordance with Senate policy. 1.4 Class participation grading 1.5.1 No evaluative procedure may be worth more than 50% of the final grade 1.5.2 Spot quizzes: Can be no more than 2% each and no more than 5% of final grade. 1.6 Meaningful feedback worth at least 20% of final grade prior to voluntary withdrawal date 1.15 Dates by which students may voluntarial withdraw from a course Senate Policy T1: T.1 Senate Policy on the use of Turnitin.com (policy attached if required)

01-24-275-91 Professor’s Comments INTRODUCTION Welcome to Principles and Practices of Arts Management I, 01-24-275-91. This online course will introduce you to the basics of running a not-for-profit arts organization in Canada. You will study the structures of arts organizations and examine core competencies as applied to arts organizations, such as: fundraising, Board and volunteer management, labour-management issues, public relations, and marketing. Working with current materials we will cover several topics over the semester that represent the fundamental activities and responsibilities required to sell, promote, support and administer a vibrant arts community. Taking an online course is very different from a classroom course. Most people feel that online courses are more labour intensive and require a greater amount of discipline than classroom courses. That's true. The advantage is that you can do the work when it is convenient for you, providing, of course, that you meet all of the deadlines. I strongly recommend that you develop a pattern or schedule for when you log on and participate in the course and stick to it. Regular attention to the course website is critical and will keep you up to date with any news I may have for you as well as keeping you on track with the content to be covered. Think of the course website as you would the classroom for an on ground class. If you don’t visit on a regular bases you will find it difficult to keep up. ADMINISTRATION This is a twelve-week course consisting of twelve lessons. If you take this course and have taken 01-01-360-91, you may only claim credit for one of them. Read the following information carefully. It explains everything you need to know to take this course. All times given in this course are UWindsor time or Eastern Time (ET). This time is displayed on the bottom right corner of our course website. If you want you can add your time zone to your webpage, go to Preferences and select Time Zone. Lesson Structure Lesson Objectives will be listed at the beginning of every lesson. They represent a series of activities you should be able to perform to prove you have learned the lesson content. It is reasonable to assume that these objectives will form the basis of course evaluation. A Lesson Plan will follow the Objectives. Lessons have been planned so that each section of the lesson builds on what you learned from the section preceding it. It is therefore important to follow the Lesson Plan sequence. Lessons may include links, additional CourseWare reading, multimedia or other learning objects. You will be instructed when to refer to these materials. After each Lesson Plan you will find a To Do section that outlines activities, exercises, discussions and quizzes related to the lesson that you should complete before moving on to the next lesson. This section may include reminders about upcoming due dates for assignment submissions. N.B. Each To Do area has an Answer Me section. These questions are for your study purposes only, you are not required to hand them in. I believe if you successfully follow the Lesson Plans laid out for you every week, you should not have any difficulty successfully completing this course. Course Website (CLEW) CLEW is the platform on which this course is delivered. Consider any information here to be authoritative and up- to-date. Our course site is divided into several sections that appear in the left-hand link column. These are the CLEW tools that we will be using for 24-275:

2) Calendar – allows you to see when lessons are posted, when assignments, discussions and quizzes are due, and the professor’s office hours.

Page 8 of 6

3) Syllabus – is where you found this Course Outline, Course Schedule, and Due Date Schedule.

4) Announcements – will be used to broadcast information to all students in 24-275 at the same time. This is where I can keep everyone up to date on any changes or updates that you need to be aware of. Please check the Announcement area every time you log onto the web site, just as you would listen to you Prof’s announcements at the beginning or end of a lecture. For announcements that I consider very important I will have CLEW send you an email letting you know an announcement you need to see has been posted.

5) Email Instructor - will allow you to send an email directly to your instructor or TA. You can include attachments with your emails. Please use the Email Instructor tool for any concerns you would prefer to remain private and not discuss in the public Chat or Discussion forums.

6) Chat – is the first place students should go to seek help and help others with their questions. The difference between Chat and Discussion is that Chat is ‘real time’ or synchronous. You are chatting with people who are in the Chat Room at the same time that you are. During office hours I will be available in the Chat area. Please note that all chat messages are saved and visible to all course participants.

7) Forums – is where you post your lesson related discussions that are assigned in some of the lessons. This area will be broken down into the different weekly lessons and have Groups within each lesson area. Remember to be polite in all discussions and forums. Your TA and instructor monitor and contribute to discussions as well as ensure accurate and full information among discussants.

8) Discussions – There are two types of Discussion areas: 1. General Discussions – you can pose questions here about course

difficulties you are experiencing. You may get a response to your difficulty faster here than from your instructor or TA. Since helping others is a great way to cement your own learning, see if you might be able to help someone with any of their questions. I encourage you to use the Discussion area; it can end up being a fountain of information, especially when you are doing your budget and cash flow assignment. You will find a couple of different topics in General Discussions.

2. Assignment 1 Discussion – is where you will submit your first assignment.

9) Lessons – is the area where you find lessons and learning resources that accompany them. This area is the backbone of our course. You should complete the relevant lesson every week. 1. Quizzes & Tests II – is where you find, take and submit your quizzes, mid-term, and final exam. 2. Assignments – is where you will find your assignment descriptions. This is also where you will submit

your assignments (except for Assignment 1) by attaching your document in the Assignments location. Each assignment description will indicate the appropriate method of submission. I sometimes use Assignments to provide audio feedback for your assignment work.

3. Feedback – is used to: privately provide your marks for specific sections of assignment work along with any comments I may

have. report your Discussion marks to you four times throughout the semester. report the progress of your overall grade for the course (prior to Voluntary Withdrawal and prior to the final

exam). 4. Gradebook – is where you can view the marks all of your coursework except Discusions. Just as with

Feedback, only you can see your marks in this area. Gradebook offers a running tally of your marks. How To Do Well in this Course

• Set aside a time each week as your study time. Keep these hours as a scheduled time to work on your course.

• Stick to the course schedule. Don't fall behind. • Don't skip over the Lesson Plans. Learning has been arranged so

that subsequent Lesson Plan elements are built on expectations of knowledge achievement during the earlier elements.

• Please take advantage of my office hours if you are having difficulties or have any questions – feel free to send me an email ([email protected]).

ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION In this course, you will be assessed by means of: Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, a Mid Term Test and Final Exam.

No exceptions will be made to the weighting of the evaluation outline on page 6. Spelling and grammar will be considered in the evaluation of all of your Assignment and Discussion

submissions up to a maximum of 0.5% of the value of the assignment or 0.2% of the discussion in question. • Assignments – There will be five assignments for a total value of 36%. The assignments vary in complexity

and nature. All assignments will be posted in the Assignments area on the course website. You will submit most of your assignments electronically in the Assignment area. Please make a note of all your due dates in your personal calendar. When an assignment is posted to the course website, there will always be a notice in the Announcement area. Please note that in the case of some assignments, Turnitin.com will be used as a tool to ensure assignment work submitted is original. Please see Plagiarism above for details.

• Late Assignment Policy – All late assignments, discussion postings and quizzes will lose 5% per day (to a maximum of 35%) for being submitted late. Assignments, online discussion posting and quizzes will not be accepted more than one week past the due date.

• Quizzes – There will be 8 quizzes for a total value of 20%. The quizzes will be short and are designed to give you a sense of what to expect in the mid term and final exam. Quizzes can be found and answered in Quizzes & Tests II.

• Mid Term – There will be an online mid-term test that represents 10% of your final mark. This test will be available from 8:00 am on June 25 until 11:45 pm on June 26. This test will cover material from and including Lessons 1 – 6.

• Discussion – weekly online discussion contributions make up 9% of your final grade and are posted in the Forums area. The class will be divided into six (6) groups based on the first letter of your last name:

• Group 1 – for students whose last name begins with A to C, • Group 2 – for students whose last name begins with D to G, • Group 3 – for students whose last name begins with H to L, • Group 4 – for students whose last name begins with M to O, • Group 5 – for students whose last name begins with P to S, and • Group 6 – for students whose last name begins with T to Z.

These discussion areas will be monitored and assessed. You are expected to post meaningful, readable and succinct comments to the discussion forums for all of the required topics. Each lesson’s contribution is worth 1 point, except the Lesson 9 discussion that is worth 2 points. Specific discussion topics are included in each lesson. You may agree, disagree or bring new perceptions to the discussions but you must provide justification for your position. If your justification is based on prescribed readings or alternate readings the source must be acknowledged and cited. Your contributions might include responding to a question posed in the lesson, asking course-related questions, or responding to the comments of classmates. All discussions will have a cut-off date. The discussion areas are for you, the students, please use them to share ideas and thoughts. See the Course Schedule or Due Date Schedule, at the end of this document and attached in Syllabus, for Discussion due dates. N.B. Please print and/or copy paste your discussion postings and comments for your own records and for your files. With such a large class, sometimes discussion posts are missed or might disappear, if you have a copy of them then we can make sure they get marked. • Final Exam - the final exam is worth 25% of your grade. Our final

exam is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19 between 8:30 and 10:30 pm. Your final exam will be an online exam. You will have to take it in the time allocated. The final exam will focus on Lessons 7 – 12 but will have some questions from Lessons 1 – 6.

• Exam Conflicts – An alternative or make-up final exam will be allowed for students who have three (3) exams in one day, or if the date conflicts with religious conviction. Approvals for this privilege are obtained only by application to the Registrar’s Office before the end of the fourth week of classes of the current term.

• Missed Final Exam – If you miss your final exam, a mark of zero (0) will be given unless the student has made prior arrangements with the instructor. This zero may be changed for medical, compassionate, or other valid reasons. See page6 above for details.

Use of Turnitin.com: 1. Rationale. The University believes in the right of all students to be part of a University community where academic integrity is expected, maintained, enforced, and safeguarded; it expects that all students will be evaluated and graded on their own individual work; it recognizes that students often have to use the ideas of others as expressed in written, published, or unpublished work in the preparation of essays, papers, reports, theses, and publications. However, it expects that both the data and ideas obtained from any and all published or unpublished material will be properly acknowledged and sources disclosed. Failure to follow this practice constitutes plagiarism. The University, through the availability of Turnitin®, desires to encourage responsible student behaviour, deter plagiarism, improve student learning, and ensure greater accountability. 2. Procedure. Turnitin® may be used for some or all student papers in this course, as the case may be, at the instructor’s discretion. You will be asked to submit your paper to the instructor in electronic form (in CLEW) who will then submit the paper to Turnitin® if deemed necessary. Note that students’ papers that are submitted to Turnitin® become part of the Turnitin® database. This assists in protecting your intellectual property. However, you also have the right to request that your paper(s) not be run through the student papers database of Turnitin®. If you choose to do so, that request must be communicated to me in writing at the beginning of the course. 3. Privacy and Copyright. Your privacy is protected even if your name and/or student number is on your paper because Turnitin® does not make students’ papers available to outside third parties. Further, you retain the copyright in your work. Copyright, in relation to a work, is defined in Canada’s Copyright Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C- 42, s. 3(1), which is available on the Department of Justice Canada website. Turnitin®’s use of student work complies with Canadian copyright and privacy laws. 4. Originality Reports. If the results of a Turnitin® originality report may be used to charge you with academic misconduct, you will be notified of the result of the report, and you will be given the opportunity to respond before any disciplinary penalty is imposed. SODA Participation Policy: In accordance with Bylaw 51 1.4, participation in all Dramatic Art scheduled classes is essential and therefore expected. Grade loss will be applied accordingly where a lack of participation is demonstrated through failure to complete in class assignments on dates assigned and/or where there is a demonstrated lack of execution and/or application of course content presented in class. Marks awarded for participation shall not amount to more than 20% of the final grade. Consideration will be given to instances of bereavement, illness, or serious personal circumstances. Written documentation will be required. Please not that the policies of the School of Dramatic Art apply and can be found at under Student Information / SODA Policies at www.uwindsor.ca/drama. COURSE INSTRUCTOR & OFFICE HOURS Course Instructor After twenty-five years of involvement in the field of professional theatre, working primarily at the Shaw Festival as a Stage Manager and Education Coordinator, I decided to branch out. I went back to school and completed a post-graduate certificate in Human Resources Management in 2004. Since then I have been working with various arts organizations and institutions as an Arts Management Consultant specializing in areas of Human Resources and Education. I am particularly proud of the work I did with the Ontario Arts Council as the researcher, conference coordinator and report writer for a cross-sectoral arts management conference, Re-Generation, the Healthy Arts Leader, which the OAC hosted in February 2005. I taught Stage Management and Theatre Management at Brock University between 1996 and 2001. I was delighted to return to the classroom again in 2006. Presently I teach cross-sectoral Arts Management courses virtually for University of Windsor as well as teaching Stage Management and Producing on ground at Brock University. When time allows, I stage manage or volunteer for various arts organizations in Ontario. TAs Our TA this semester is Erin Cunningham. Erin is a Drama in Education and Community student.
